He wasn’t looking tired by 10:30 so we were ready to head out for the day. All that was left to do was to change him, put on my shoes, and put him in the carrier. But as I changed him he started to yawn. Picked him up when I was done and he laid his head on my shoulder. Turned on Hozier and he was asleep after a couple songs.
He woke up at noon, but like yesterday he was still sleepy. He spent another 25 minutes on my shoulder as we listened to music. Unlike yesterday, however, he didn’t fall back to sleep but instead eventually woke up.
So now it was too late for our original plan and the air pollution had pushed into the red category. Finally, I decided we would jump in the subway and head to the children’s museum.
Next piece of bad luck was finding that the museum is closed for renovations this week.
So we went to the conservatory, as usual, and confirmed that the zoo is still closed. We also stopped at the playground and went on the swing (on the way there) and the slide (on the way back). When he was sitting on the slide I took off his socks so he could play in the sand with his feet for the first time.
We then left the park and crosses the street to Sejong University, where we had had lunch with Carly alongside a pond a few months back. We went to the history museum on the other side of the pond and when we came out August was hungry. So we sat by the pond and ate lunch and watched the ducks. I was hoping to make it quick (pollution levels), but he kept eating and eating and eating.
A half hour later we were on our way to Costco as we still had time and it was on the way home (sort of). At Costco we restocked our supply of cheese and bought some monster clothes and a magnet set for August (I’m sure you’ll see them in future posts).
August was hungry again while we were in Costco so I was feeding him Cheerios as we walked around. But once I got the cheese I was going to need both hands to carry everything. So I set everything down and fed him in a corner for awhile in hopes he would make it through checkout. This was when he decided it was fun to bend his head back, look up at me, and then offer me a Cheerio to eat. He found it hilarious and would sometimes give me the Cheerio but other times he would fake me out and eat it himself.
He repeated this after the checkout when I bought food for Carly and myself and he decided he needed another full meal. This time it was both with Cheerios and tofu.
Anyway, so we headed home, getting back a few minutes after Carly. She had brought home a ball that my aunt had given him for Cheistmas that Carly needed to get blown up at school. It was definitely the toy of the evening.
August’s other new thing (besides feeding me) was making a fish noise.
